Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies that Indian law does provide protections against sexual abuse for men. Amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code, Indian Penal Code, and Indian Evidence Act have introduced gender-neutral rape laws. Specific sections within the IPC, such as 354A, 354B, 354C, 354D, 375, and 376, use the term "any person," encompassing both males and females. Furthermore, Section 375A of the IPC specifically addresses inappropriate touching of genitals for both genders, and Section 8A of 354 defines modesty in a gender-neutral manner.

respected ma'am

The necessary chnages have been made in the Criminal procedure Code, Indian Penal Code and Indian Evidence Act to bring gender neutral rape laws in India. 354A, 354B, 354C, 354D, 375 and 376 of IPC contains words like "any person" including both the male and female. Also section 375A of IPC states intentional touching of genitals which constitutes inappropriate touching of both male and female parts.Also the insertion of 8A in section 354 of IPC defines modesty.
